326 - How to make more money by working less in your business with Posture Podiatry's Daniel Gibbs

Today'sguest very kindly cancelled a game of golf (on a Tuesday morning!) in order to do this interview, so the epsidoe title of how to make more money by working less inyour business is more thanapt! [Tweet "How to make more money and work less in your business #podcast #marketing #productivity"] I metDaniel Gibbs of Posture Podiatryat an event recently, when he came up and told me how much he loved my show, and began to explain how he’d implemented a few of the ideas he’d heard over the years. I was impressed ... I do love a good action-taker. He particularly liked the episode I did with Dentist Padi Lund who, on the verge of suicide, made some fundamental changes to his business life, and lived to tell the story. [Tweet "Daniel Gibbs of @PosturePodiatry explains why herbal tea is critical to being a great podiatrist!"] Now, whilst Daniel’s predicament was never that dier, he did find himself at one point being booked out 3-months in advance, seeing patients at midnight, feeling completely exhausted trying to both work on and in his business, whilst at the same time wanting to be there for his heavily pregnant wife. [Tweet "This podiatrist was seeing patients at midnight. Something had to give."] So, like any motivated business owner, he made some fundamental changes to the way he did business. This really is inspiring stuff. Listen in and you’ll discover: How to work less in your business How to implement an unforgettable customer experience The importance of systems … and post-it notes! How critical that first 20 seconds with a customer is How the quality of the herbal tea that you serve is in direct relationship to the quality of your service Why you need a Wall of WOW! And so much more After working under another Podiatrist for a number of years, Daniel opened his own clinic at the age of 29, and from day one made a decision that it was going to be the best in class. [Tweet "Check out the simple fundraising idea for charities in this podcast episode"] In today's episode, I also help a Horse & Donkey charity called Hope Pastures who has zero marketing budget but needs to feed their precious animals over the cold Winter month, with an idea that could help them raise plenty! It based on this fantastic crowd funding campaign: Yep, another big episode of your favourite marketing podcast. So, let's get stuck, right in.
